Clear and cool, low 36

Quiet weather continues for a few more days across western Massachusetts and much of New England. An area of high pressure remains stationary over the region, which keeps skies clear through Monday with high temperatures in the lower 70s once again.

A cut-off low pressure system delivering soaking rains to the Southeast will eventually replace this high in New England, bringing an increase in clouds Tuesday and some scattered showers through mid-week. Another trough will move through the region next weekend. Bottom line: our sunny, mild stretch over the last several days will be balanced out by several days of scattered showers through the second half of the week.
